Fig. 6. Zfp488 induces ectopic oligodendrocyte precursor markers in the
presence of Notch signaling activation. Chick neural tubes at the stage
HH14 (E2.5) stage were electroporated with expression vectors for
Zfp488 (A,B), NICD (C,D) or both
constructs (E-H), and harvested 3 days later at E5.5. Sections of chick
neural tube were hybridized with the probes as indicated. Transgene (Tg) was
detected by Zfp488 (A,E) and NICD (C). Overexpression of
neither Zfp488 (A,B) nor NICD (C,D) alone could induce
ectopic oligodendrocyte marker expression. The combination of NICD
and Zfp488 induces expression of ectopic oligodendroglial markers
Sox10 (F, arrow) and Pdgfra (G, arrow), but not Mbp
(H).
